The 16-day race meeting at Fairplex Park has been quite eventful. First, the meet's dominant jockey, Martin Pedroza, who has won the riding title the last nine years, won seven races on both Friday and Sunday and has already won 24 races.
Pedroza's feat topped the track record and matched Southern California jockey records for wins in a single day. David Flores won six at Fairplex on two separate days in 1992 and both Laffit Pincay Jr. and Victor Espinoza have won seven at other area tracks.
